Start Up
Your spa will enter Priming Mode (Pr) after initial start-up
sequence. During Priming Mode, press Jets Button(s)
repeatedly to ensure all pumps are free of air. Priming Mode
will end automatically in 4 minutes. Press a Temperature
Button to exit Priming Mode manually. When Priming Mode
ends, Pump 1 will start and the water temperature will appear
after about a minute. If the water temperature is below the Set
Temperature, the heater will begin.
Basic Operation
Press a Temperature Button once to see the current
temperature flash on the LCD (Note that the Set Temperature and
actual temperature are often different). While the numbers are
flashing, press a Temperature Button again to change the Set
Temperature. Press-and-hold for faster adjustment. After the new
Set Temperature stops flashing (about 10 seconds) the actual
temperature is displayed and the new Set Temperature is
programmed. The spa will now adjust to the new Set Temperature.
The Light Button turns the Spa Light on and off and is
also used in conjunction with the Temperature Button(s) to
navigate the system menus.
Automatic Polling (Standard Mode)
The pump activates for one minute to check the temperature: every
30 minutes, if another pump is on, when set temperature is raised.
Filtration
To program the filtration cycle, press a “Temperature Button” and
enter Set Temp Mode. While the Set Temperature is flashing, press
“Light” repeatedly until “FLTR1” appears. Press a “Temp. Button”
to select Filter One and again to program the Start Time. Press
“Light” to move onto the “RUN” Time and use the “Temp
Buttons” to program filter cycle duration. Press “Light” to set the
Filter Cycle. Press “Light” again to move into “FLTR2” and press a
“Temp. Button” to select and program the second filter cycle in the
same way.
The two filtration cycles should be programed 12 hours apart for 2
hours each. It is important to set filter cycles on a pattern. We
recommend programming cycles at 7am/7 pm and avoiding the
hours between 10am-5pm.
Programming
Navigating the deeper menu structure is done with only 2 or 3
buttons. Press a “Temperature” Button once to see the temperature
flash. Pressing the “Light” Button while the Set Temperature is
flashing enters the menu. Continually pressing “Light” to proceed
through the Menu Choices (TEMP, MODE, TIME, FLIP, LOCK,
HOLD, FLTR1, FLTR2, PREF, UTIL). Pressing a “Temperature”
Button while any menu item is showing will edit it directly or
begin an editing sequence. After editing, allow 10-30 seconds to
return the panel to normal operation and display the spa status.
Ready and Rest Modes
READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2 hour using Pump 1
Low to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and
refresh the temperature display (polling).
REST Mode will only allow heating during programed filter
cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may
not show a current temperature until the filtration pump has been
running for a minute or two. READY/REST Mode may appear
when Jet 1 is activated.
Dual Temperature Ranges
This system incorporates two temperature range settings with
independent set temperatures. The High Range is indicated by the
display and can be set from 80*F-104*F. The Low
Range is indicated by the display and can be set from
50*F-99*F. Low Range is economical during non-use periods.
More specific Temperature ranges may be determined by the
manufacturer.
General Messages
Warning!
Do not attempt
service of
control system. Contact your dealer
or
service organization for assistance. Follow
all
owner’s manual power
connection instructions. Installation
must be
performed
by a licensed
electrician
and all grounding
connections
must be
properly
installed.
Priming Mode – MO19
Each time the spa is powered up, it enters Priming Mode, which
allows the user to manually run each pump and verify they are
primed (air purged) and water is flowing. This typically requires
observing the output of each pump separately, and is generally
not possible in normal operation. Priming Mode lasts 4 minutes,
but can be exited manually by pressing a Temperature Button.
The heater will not run during Priming Mode.
Water Temperature is Unknown: After the pump has been
running for 1 minute, the temperature will be displayed.
Too Cold – Freeze Protection
A potential freeze condition has been detected, or the Aux
Freeze Switch has closed, and all pumps and blower are
activated. All pumps and blowers are ON for at least 4 minutes
after the potential freeze condition has ended, or when the aux
freeze switch opens. In some cases, pumps may turn on and off
and heater may operate during Freeze Protection. This is an
operational message, not an error indication.
Water is too Hot (OHS) – MO29
One of the water temp sensors has detected spa water temp
110*F (43.3*C) and the spa functions are disabled. System will
auto reset when the spa water temp is below 108*F (42.2*C).
Check for extended pump operation or high ambient temp.
Safety Tip – Pump Suction Blockage* - MO33
The Safety Tip error message indicates that the vacuum switch
has closed. This occurs when there has been a suction problem
or a possible entrapment situation avoided. (Note: Not all spas
have this feature). *This message can be reset with any button
press.
Heater may be Dry (dr)* - MO28
Possible dry heater, or not enough water in the heater to start it.
The spa is shut down for 15 min. Press any button to reset the
heater start-up. *See “Flow Related Checks” below.
Heater is Dry* –MO27
There is not enough water in the heater to start it. The spa is
shut down. After the problem has been resolved, you must press
any button to reset and restart heater start up. *See “Flow
Related Checks” below.
Heater is too Hot (OHH)*
One of the water temp sensors has detected 118*F (47.8*C) in
the heater and the spa is shut down. You must press any button
to reset when water is below 108*F (42.2*C). *See “Flow
Related Checks” below.
*Flow-Related Checks: Check for low water level, suction
flow restrictions, closed valves, trapped air, too many closed
jets and pump prime. On some systems even when spa is shut
down, some equipment may occasionally turn on to continue
monitoring temperature or if freeze protection is needed. (This
message can be reset with any button press).
General Maintenance Helps
Reminder messages can be suppressed by using the PREF Menu
(see page 11 of User Guide). Reminder messages and message
frequency can be chosen individually by the manufacturer.
Press a Temperature Button to reset a displayed reminder
message.
Check pH with a test kit and
adjust pH with the appropriate
chemicals. Appears on regular
schedule (e.g. every 7 days).
Check sanitizer level and
other water chemistry with test
kit and adjust with appropriate
chemicals. Appears on regular schedule (e.g. every 7 days).
Clean the filter media as
instructed by manufacturer.
Appears on regular schedule.
(e.g. every 30 days).
The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupted (GFCI) or Residual
Current Device (RCD) is an
important safety device and must be tested on a regular basis to
verify its reliability. Every user should be trained to safely test
the GFCI or RCD associated with the hut tub installation. A
GFCI or RCD will have a TEST and RESET button on it that
allows a user to verify proper function.
Warning: If freezing conditions exist, a GFCI or RCD should
be rest immediately or spa damage could result. This end user
should always be trained to test and reset the GFCI or RCD on a
regular basis.
